HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide: Breast Cancer Data, Release 1 - US Realm (Draft for Comment 2)
This page is part of the Breast Cancer Data Logical Models and FHIR Profiles (v0.2.0: STU 1 Draft) based on FHIR R3. . For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

http://hl7.org/fhir/us/breastcancer/StructureDefinition/cimi-entity-Specimen-model
A specimen is a substance, physical object, or collection of objects, that the laboratory considers a single discrete, uniquely identified unit that is the subject of one or more steps in the laboratory workflow. A specimen may include multiple physical pieces as long as they are considered a single unit within the laboratory workflow. A specimen results from one to many specimen collection procedures, and may be contained in multiple specimen containers. Specimen may have one or more processing activities.
This logical model was published on Fri Aug 17 00:00:00 AEST 2018 as a draft by The HL7 Cancer Interoperability Group sponsored by Clinical Interoperability Council Work Group (CIC).
